EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases an intriguing advert for the appearance of Mr Mansfield, a man hailed as the second Daniel Lambert. Weighing an astonishing 469 pounds and boasting a circumference of 97 inches, Mr Mansfield was undoubtedly a sight to behold. The advertisement proudly announces his exhibition at 6 Leicester Square in London. The image captures the essence of curiosity and wonder surrounding this larger-than-life individual. It serves as a testament to society's fascination with extraordinary human feats and physical attributes during that era. The detailed engraving allows us to appreciate every intricate line and shading, bringing Mr Mansfield's remarkable size to life. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back in time when advertising took on different forms than what we are accustomed to today. This advert aimed not only to inform but also captivate potential visitors who were eager for unique experiences. Although it is important not to mention any commercial use or specific advertising companies associated with this artwork, its significance lies in its ability to evoke nostalgia while shedding light on societal attitudes towards obesity and public exhibitions during the 19th century. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now admire this piece from their Fine Art Finder collection and delve into a fascinating chapter of history where individuals like Mr Mansfield became temporary celebrities through their sheer size alone.
